Environment

• Platform: Android
• Architecture: arm64-v8a
• Version: v5.1/v5.1.LTS
• Source branch: main
• Using android command line tool version 10406996 on Windows WSL2
• Android NDK version: r22b

I think using Windows WSL is a lot buggier for compilation. plus there is this tendency by windows system to change line endings to non-unix friendly format. I installed Ubuntu on a virtual machine and atleast that helped me get rid of that issue

TLDR: DONT USE WSL TO COMPILE

[tanersener]

You're correct. Other users have also reported similar issues when compiling the Android library on Windows/WSL. We've made a note about it in our NDK Compatibility wiki.
